Welcome to the Exercise Oncology/Oncology Nutrition (EON) Network!

Our goals:

  1. Support the research needed to develop evidence-based practice guidelines in both exercise oncology and oncology nutrition during cancer treatment
  2. Facilitate communication between the exercise oncology and oncology nutrition communities to achieve the joint goal of improving cancer treatment outcomes​​​​​
  3. Encourage communication between researchers and clinicians working with people receiving cancer treatment​​

We are excited to offer this new webinar series and networking opportunity, the Exercise Oncology/Oncology Nutrition (EON) Network, coordinated by the NCI-funded Exercise and Nutrition Interventions to Improve Cancer Treatment-Related Outcomes (ENICTO) Consortium.​​​​

Coffee consumption and improved colorectal cancer survivorship: from observational to interventional studies

Observational findings from several independent cohorts have consistently shown a beneficial association of coffee consumption after diagnosis with better survival outcomes among patients with colorectal cancer. In support of these data, coffee has been linked to lower risk of metabolic disorders, lower inflammation, and favorable blood biochemical profiles. While the components in coffee that drive these benefits remain unknown, studies of metabolomics and microbiome have identified potential molecules and mechanisms of action underlying coffee's beneficial effects. These data altogether have motivated the conduct of the first randomized control trial of coffee consumption among colorectal cancer survivors (the COMMENCER trial). In this presentation, Dr. Song will review the existing data, present the COMMENCER trial, and discuss the future directions.
